Hey guys, just wanted to drop in and introduce our new company & product, GripTech Polymer Grip Tape. Feel free to ask any questions. If there is a resident moderator, I would be willing to send a sample for review & testing... I think this stuff is going to surprise people!

Hey pal, you're in Alchemy territory. I skated Alchemy on Dec. 1st in MN after a snowfall and it gripped so well. My suggestion is to get a sheet of Alchemy and wonder why you'd even consider riding something else.

Kidding, best of luck with your endeavors, but just remember with Alchemy out there it's going to be a big uphill battle.

Even Alchemy had an uphill battle... I really don't expect everyone to like my product, but I do think there will be a considerable amount that will. Shoot, look at all the different brands of sand based grip tapes on the market..everyone has a preference. Plus, I think ours is even cheaper than the Alchemy stuff.

hmmmm. i like the idea of not killing my shoes in a few sessions. and since i'm still waiting for my alchemy review piece (calling mike d!), maybe you could send me a sheet also. i'd like to see how it lasts in the cold weather.

Guys who are interested in testing and posting results need to email me who you are and what your address is. If you like the product and want to submit an application to join our team for a amateur or pro sponsorship, I will need a video and bio. My partners and I will review these and start making decisions.

Alright, just a heads up...we have sent out samples to a few people and will be waiting now for feedback from these members. Thanks everyone for your interest and hopefully people like the product. If you have any more questions or would like to purchase some, feel free to email me any time at griptech@yahoo.com

I am curious to see how it works without tearing your shoes up. The whole reason griptape is there is because it is rougher than your shoes so you can stick, which obviously cause the tears. If something is not as rough as your shoes you won't tear them but you also won't have any grip basically.

I asked if I could try it out, and aaron was cool enough to send me a sheet to try out for free. thanks man! So i just got it yesterday, and i have not put it on a board yet, however, heres what i can tell you about it from just holding it and standing on it (again, not on a skateboard yet). It is a little bit heavier then normal grip tape. You might not notice it if you wernt looking for it, but its deffinatly a bit thicker... for me, weight has never been an issue, but if your riding magnesium trucks, maybe its not for you. it feels really strange. If your just touching it, it doesnt really seem like it will grip that well, but once you stand on it, it actually seems pretty grippy. Now i just want to see if1. it grips well and continues to grip well for a while2. what kind of wear it does on your shoes3. how it effects different tricks like any flip tricks

well, once my new board gets in, ill put this stuff on and see how it goes. im stoked to try it out

Yep, I know those will be needed, Bailgun. I just really wanted to get some product out in people hands and see what the results were. Maybe no one will think it is as good as I do...then I dont want to make a website at all. But I think it will go fine and we should have all out stuff together in the next month or so.

hey, just letting you all know i got a sheet of this, and i just set it up, which by the way was hard as fuck... deffinatly doesnt cut as easy as your regular grip. anyway, im starting my review for it now... ill be back with more info later. siked to go test it out!
